  1. But yet you replied.
  2. I thought German was supposed to be the gem in the Ottavino acquisition.
  3. Are you willing to share the blame if we finish in last place?
  4. Bloom has painted himself into a corner. He didn’t want to pay top $ for starting pitching and now the only unsigned quality arm is Wacha and he wants 2 years /$30 million. Good job.
  5. He’s on thin ice. If he finishes last again, he will not get to ‘24.
  6. Paxton, Modesi, Sale and Kluber will be enjoying many rounds of golf together.
  7. There was almost no return on that contract extension. Terrible extension and completely pointless to have done it mid season for a guy that had a history of fading in the second half.
  8. And Bloom blew away the market for Yoshida.
  9. He has been a big disappointment. Bloom likes to shop in the basement in the irregular and damaged bin.
  10. Has he been placed on the IL yet?
  11. pretty close to a wash.
  12. ]I fixed your post. See above.
  13. Diekman was his key pickup in the off season. He bombed. That is why it was a wash getting McGuire.
  14. he was also removed after 5 innings and 1 hit with a low pitch count against the Angels at Fenway. That is my recollection. And I think he gave up the hit in the first or second inning.
  15. Even with context, he is doing a lousy job, imo.
  16. Look at the bright side. You will never decompose.
  17. Context is everything
  18. Tied for 4th and last and lost 100 games, but I stand corrected.
  19. How long can Ben live off 2013, when has finished last every season since then?
  20. Print the World Series tickets.
  21. And it had the effect of making Bloom think that his plan was on track.
  22. Weaker up the middle than last year at 3 of the 4 positions defensively— 2B, SS and CF. Weaker offensively at 3 of those 4 positions - 2B, SS and C. They didn’t add a power stick which was needed. It isn’t an argument that JD and Bogey didn’t provide much power last year. They were weak in that regard in 22 and haven’t addressed it for 23. The pitching will be better only if Sale stays healthy. The rest of the staff is bottom of the rotation garbage. The bullpen couldn’t be worse and has probably improved. If the team has improved overall, I don’t see them winning more than 81 games. There are just too many glaring weaknesses.
  23. This is shaping up as a really bad team. Extremely weak up the middle. No power bats except a guy that strikes out 50% of the time and a starting staff full of fragile arms. They will not do as well as least year.
  24. I was hoping to get Lopez. Dammit!
  25. Tapia is better than Duran. Not a bad move.
